Ann Arbor, MI

• Assisted 10 to 40 students weekly in degree planning and resolving academic issues, Maintained student records and undergraduate/graduate handbooks and supported department events such as Visit Day and departmental.

Ann Arbor, MI

• Constructed a model to simulate the micro dynamics of a piezoelectric actuator stage to calibrate a gyroscope, using the frequency response and stage motion data captured through a Laser Doppler Vibrometer with LabVIEW
• Publication E., Biju, D. Slavin, E. E. Aktakka, and K. R. Oldham., “Control and estimation with threshold sensing for Inertial Measurement Unit calibration using a piezoelectric microstage” In American Control.

Saline, MI

• Created manufacturing assembly drawings for five different versions of 2014 Tundra seating in CATIA
• Reduced cost in seat manufacturing up to eight percent by working with suppliers to lower material cost in designs
• Perform comparative studies on wire harness drawing to correct error, reduced time to production

Ann Arbor, MI

• Calculated material properties of the shape memory alloy, NiTi,, for application in earthquake resistant structures
• Prepared samples and collected stress and strain data from cyclic load tests using a Hydraulic Load Frame
